Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart are the epitome of cool at Rome cocktail party By EMMA GRITT (MAIL ON LINE)

Going to a bar and bumping in to a suited and booted Gerard Butler is at the top of many women's wishlist.

But a chance encounter with the strapping Scottish actor and Batman star Aaron Eckhart is an even better fantasy.

The actors were at a cocktail party in Rome to promote their new film Olympus Has Fallen looking incredibly handsome in dark suits.

They leant casually against the bar as they soaked up the atmosphere at the shindig at Antonello Colonna.

Gerard's blue suit highlighted matched his tie, and also brought out the hue of his eyes.

Aaron, 45, is best known for his role as Harvey 'Two Face' Dent in the Dark Knight trilogy.

Resting against the bar with a cut glass tumbler of spirits in one hand, he cut a fine figure in his dark grey suit, light grey shirt and thin tie.

In Olympus has fallen, which he also produced, Gerard plays a disgraced US secret service agent who has to help the President - played by Aaron - when Korean terrorists take control of the White House.

It's a physical role, and Gerard, 48, ended up battered, broken and bruised.
